Hi Jon,

>One configure script I use does:
>
>if test x`${UNAME}` = "xCYGWIN32_NT"; then echo "bleh bleh, NT, bleh";
           ^^^^^^^^
           where does this env var
           come form ? never saw it
           before.

>else echo "NT not found, bleh bleh"; fi


if test "x$(uname)" = "xCYGWIN32_NT"; then echo "bleh bleh, NT, bleh";
else echo "NT not found, bleh bleh"; fi

works as expected.
